Fake files will show 'connecting' for ages & then get stuck needing sources forever. They won't ever download.

If you're searching for video files, always chech the file with Bitzi before download. If a file has heaps of sources but no Bitzi rating, chances are it's a fake.

Check out the threads below for more info & tips, including how to use Bitzi
